Last night Tracy proposed an accountability idea. She wonders if people were forced to list out the things they did each day, it would change their behavior. Food was the first example referenced. If you are writing down that you eat McDonald’s three times a day, my guess is that when you see that written down 90 times in a month your behavior could change. This list digs down to a deeper level, but that is probably the best illustration of the activity. In theory, seeing all the bad things written down make them a little more “real” and hopefully would force one to make a positive change.

Personally, written out lists always help me accomplish tasks. Although, nothing helps more than placing it in an area for the world to hold me accountable. It has worked with creating the T-shirt line and currently the art show in progress. The Polaroid - a - day project did not see fruition, but I couldn’t have anticipated that the film would have spiraled into that costly of an investment. In the end, I just couldn’t justify that expense in the name of art. So yeah, failure on my part. I would rather publicly fail than do nothing at all.

What do you think? Would seeing your bad habits cause you to change them?
